Examples
Some common ADTs, which have proved useful in a great variety of applications, are
- Container
- Deque
- List
- Map
- Multimap
- Multiset
- Priority queue
- Queue
- Set
- Stack
- String
- Tree
Each of these ADTs may be defined in many ways and variants, not necessarily equivalent. For example, a stack ADT may or may not have a count operation that tells how many items have been pushed and not yet popped. This choice makes a difference not only for its clients but also for the implementation.
